They Are Sacred

Such is the case with autistic people, considered to have unique gifts and connections to the spirit world. While our people are currently reclaiming our traditional knowledge and philosophies, we are also facing a severe lack of resources adapted to our new reality. Through intimate encounters with Anders, They Are Sacred gives viewers unique access to the world of an autistic child, and to follow his father’s journey to bring back traditional First Nations perspectives in our contemporary world.

Matimekush
Matimekush is a village of 700 people located next to Schefferville. Situated north of the 55th parallel and inaccessible by road, it has welcomed members of the African community on its ancestral lands for over a decade. In this frozen desert stands Kanatamat School, where nearly the entire teaching staff comes from Africa. How can two peoples, seemingly worlds apart, come together through this new model? Despite many differences, both groups are brought together by a strong sense of community and by the striking similarities in the challenges they continue to face. With determination, African teachers strive to build meaningful and lasting relationships with their students, helping them stay on the right path while fully respecting their origins and culture. The documentary follows the often difficult development of these special connections, as each person seeks, in their own way, to overcome the traumas of their history. Stay with us after the screening to take part in a discussion with our guests! Check out the CINÉ-ÉCHANGE activity for details.
